Philadelphia, .Jane C?The second day of
the Convention and the day of the nominations
opens with a bright, clear, warm unshine, and
owing to the cariy hoar of meeting, tbe city has
been in a glow of interest and excitement since
i>ix o'clock. The crowds are larger than ever,
the streets in the neighbotbood of the Academy
being quite impassable with clubs and bands
parading.
T11B TUB PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST AS BITTSR
AS EVER.
Forney's rrttt publishes a table, which gives
Colfax a plurality on the first ballot. Last
night a plurality was figured by all tha New
York papers for Wilson, and the reported
< lian^e is causing intense excitement am >ng the
Wilson men, who are belaboring delegated in
all quarters.
THE SEW?PATIR STNDICATB
are all on hand in the Academy, and are count
ing op tfceir close votes very earnestly. Dis
patches from Washington, denouncing them as
thieves and jobbers, and representing that
Senator Wilson repudiated them, were read in
ail the delegations, and caused a bitter feeling
of excitement. The syndicate are mmitied
that a fellow-journalist should thus denounce
them. All the Philadelphia papers suppressed
the telegram, and even Mr. Jennings prohibited
its appearance in the Timet, whose Washington
curresi-ondent originated it.
8BORGB FRANCIS TRAIN
has becomc more crazy than ever over the ex
citement that snrrounds him. and has just an
nounced from the Continental grand staircase
that when he becomes President he intends to
hang a thousand hell bounds at once.
OPEN1NO SCENES.
Ten a. m. was the hoar for meeting of the
convention, but the crowds were so immense
that it was more than half an hoar before the
delegations got in their places. In the mean
time tbe bands played patriotic airs, which were
cheered lustily. Tbe private boxes and some of
the dress circles contain ladies to-day.
OREGON REPUBLICAN.
After prayer and roll-call of states, George P.
Holman, of the Oregon delegation, arose and
said: ? " Oregon has been for four years under
democratic rule. Monday she held an election,
and now she is republican." [Great cheering
by the audience, with renewed cries of three
more cheers, the convention rioing to its feet.]
TBE MORMON DELEGATION EXCLUDED.
The committees on rules and credentials mado
report , which were agreed to, ther J being ful'
delegations from every state and territory, with
out contest, except Utah and Dacotah, which
were given two votes each, the Mormon delega
tion ftorn Utah being excluded on the ground of
rot Wing duly elected by a regular convention.
Cbas. Spencer, of New York, hoped the Mor
mons would be admitted. "Let us marry them
ad,"' said he. [Great laughter.] A motion to
admit the Mormon delegation was lost.
THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
was then elected. Senators Morton and Nye,
General Dodge, of Iowa, Senator Clayton, C. C.
Fulton, of Maryland, Congressman Frye, Aver
ill, W. E. Chandler and Governor Henry D.
Co?ke were amonu those elected. The latter'*
name a as received with roands of applause.
WAITING NOR TBE PLATFORM.
While waiting for the platform the convention
listened for an hoar and ahalf to speeches from
various delegates.
GRANT RENOMI NATED!
At 12:30, without waiting for the platform, the
rules were suspended by two thirds, and the
convention voted to proceed to nominate a Pres
ident. Ex-congressman Cullom, of Illinois,
chairman of that delegation, nominated Grant
for a second term in a brief, bat spirited, speech.
The entire convention and all the audience
rose to their feet, and for several minutes there
was a tremendous roar of enthasiasm. Hand
kerchiefs, Hags, banners were waved. The
bands struck up"iiailto the Chief," when a
large equestrian scenic painting of Grant
descended foom tbe roof at the rear of the
stage, filling the entire space. It was flanked
vn each side by medallions of Lincoln and
Stanton. It w an excellent likeness, grand and
theatrical, and the effect of it* appearance was
electrical.
Ex-Lieut. Governor Woodford, of New York,
seconded the nomination of Grant in a brilliant
speech, when every state followed with its
electoral vote; Illinois, New York, Penn
sylvania, and other large states being loudly
cheered, several of the chairmen of the dele
gations making brief speeches. Alabama led off
with its 20electoral votes for the "True and
tried patriot." amid great cheeriug. When the
roll wa?> floished, the T52 electoral votes of the
entire union were thrown for the renomtnation
of President Grant.
When New York was called, Its chairman said:
"New York casts her 70 votes for Ulysses S.
Grant, and, in the language of her distinguished
citizen. Horace Greeley, says "Grant is a man
who has not and never will be beaten." [Long
and continued applause.]
North Carolina said, "We cast 20 rotes for
Grant, and it Is the tar-heel state. We Will
?tick."
When Khode Island was called, Gen. Burn
side cast its vote. He was received with intense
enthusiasm, the convention giving him nine
cheers.
When the District of Columbia was called,
John F. Cook rose and said:?"The District or
Columbia, the seat of the United States govern
ment, has a Uesirat le boose to rent, and desires
me to say that she wants to let it to tbe same
tenants. She casts her two votes for U. S.
Grant." (Great applause.)
When the president finally announced the full
7-92 votes for Grant, a choir In tbe gallery sang
and the band played a new song, "Grant shall
be our President again."
Succeeding that the band played "John
Brown's soul is marching on/' and -"Rally
around the flag." The vast audience rose and
joined in tbe chorus. Tbe scene at this point is
unparalleled for enthasiasm.
The nommation was finally ratified by nine
cheer*.
The spectators in the upper galleries were so
worked ap by excitement and enthusiasm that
they took oft their coats, and thousands ap.
{?eared in their ahirt sleeves. A.

hearty roands of cheers. The committee on

R- tol -d, That we earnestly desire peace with
all na'ioti* as the greatest earthly blessing, and
the 'inuatton of friendly relations with
tin andedon principles ot justice and right.
Tc mpli.-h these great ends we are willing
lo i. .ti all proper confessions. This spirit has
ch/ * terired all our Intercourse with the peo
ple vernment of Great Britain.
? I, That in view of existing circnm
? we deem it proper to declare thn? in
onr j ent where these means fail, our Kug
lish will find the people of the United
State* at this day as tirmly resolved and united
in the maintenance of our rights and hounr as
our fathers were in 1776, ani>isi2; and that we
will uphold the hand our government in as
serting them, without distinction et* party or
section, as our fathers have taught us, with
"our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred h >n>r."
Jictclrnl, Th..t the Trent affair was settled at
the time by the prompt action of our govern
ment before the act complained of wa.- made
known by the British government, and that we
commend this example to favorable considera
tion with respect t? the Alabama claims, which
must also be settled by peaceful meansor other
wise.
Mr. Parker, of New Jersey, moved that the
resolutions l>e referred to the committee on res
olutions, without debate.

SENTIMENTS OF AT* KX-RERJtL BIUOAOIER.
Mr. Flanagan, of Texas,called out George W.
Carter, of Louisiana, who had led a rebel
brigade. H e wanted to hear from the ex-secession
side of the house. [Cries of " Carter," " Car
ter."] General Carter then came to the front
of the platform. He spoke so inau lihly that at
first it w.as difficult to hear him. Ho said he
had been a rebel, but was reconstructed.
He came out of the war with two planks iu his
platform; tlrst, if he could not get what he
wanted, he would take what he could get.
Second, that a whip{>ed man had no right to
decide what he would have. He had learned
that the will of the people must be respected.
Referring to Greeley, he said the people of the
south respected a man who was tirm and made
them behave themselves. If the democrats
nominated Greeley at Baltimore, he b-Iieved
Grant would get more democratic votes in Lou
isiana than Greeley. [Great cHl-ers.]
MORE SI'KKCHSS.
Mr. Sproback.of Ala., being called o.it, ad
dressed the convention in a string Germ in ac
cent. He recited some of the cruelties or the
kuklux to illustrate the importance of decided
legislation and the strong arm of Grant to ex
ecute it, to guarantee protection to all ciizens
in the enjoyment of all their political and civil
rights. In conclusion, he predicted Schurz
would not muster a corporal'sguard of Germans
to attend his own poMieal funeral. *
Mr. Storr, of Illinois, having been called out,
said he represented In part the greatest carpet
bag state in the Uniou. There was only man
in the delegation who was born in the state. We
eulogized the energy and enterprise of her peo
ple, and said'df the carpet bag tree produced
such fruits, let us, for God's sake, plant u all
over the land."
The sj>eech was interrupted by impitient
cries of "lime," "time," but the ch i.rman
interfered and restored order, when
Mr. Storr proceeded with his sj>eec!i. He
ridiculed the pretence of Carl Schurz, who, he
said, had tailed miserably, both in war and
peaco. He ignored him as his fellow citizeu,
sa\ ing that ht ?as so no longer. He pr.- licted
the re-election of President Grant as lus own
successor by a larger majority than am candi
date had ever received. As "he closed his re
marks there was great confusion, and impatient
calls to proceed with business. Several dele
gates proposed to go on at once with the nomina
tions, instead of waiting for the rej>ort of the
committee on the platform, but the chairman
announced that the committee would be pro
pared to report in half an hour.
In rcsj>on*e to calls .John B. Henderson, of
Missouri, s{oke from his place in the delega
tion. He deciiued extended remarks until he
should get his text in the nomination and plat
form. The republican party in Missouri is
united. There will come up from the hills and
valleys of that state one universal shout for the
nominees of this convention. The divisions in
the party there had been unfortunate, but they
have been healed, and republicans and liberals
now stand on a common plattorm. He said that
Gratz Brown had seemed to shirk, auer his
election as Governor, that he owed m W to the
democracy. He had accordingly left us. Let
him go. We vish him every eucccss, except
election on the tail of the liberal republican
ticket.
Mr. Bickham,of Ohio, moved to suspend the
rules in older to proceed to ballot for President
of the United States, as the committee on the
platform was not ready to report.
Thf ayes and noes were nearly equal, when
the chaft man announced the motion lost..
James R. Lynch, colored, secretary of the
state of Mississippi, being called out, took the
platform, saying that the colored race were
waiting anxiously to hear of the rcnomlnation
of Genera! Grant. There was no occasion for
further eulogy. That the republican party was
necessary to mankind was as cUar as that the
sun of the democratic party was dead, it must
be buried, because a dead body on the surface
of the grouud in summer time does more harm
than the iiving man. | Great appUuse.] Its
contagion threatened the Uuion soldiers, their
widows and orphans, the national credit, and
the public liberties. Under the leadership of
Grant we i>roi>ose to turn out and dig the grave
of this corpse so wide and deep that it can never
be resurrected. [Applause.] The col
ored men were born of the republi
can party, and by it stand. Op
position torant means opposition to the tri
umphs of the war. Tell me not that because
Gneley Is Identified with thec$useof the liberty
of colored people he will find magic in his name.
They know the name of Grant still more as he
who carried out their faith of freedom with the
frword. [Cheers.] They are bound to Grant by
cords that cannot be separated. He said the
colored i<eople of America are gravitating to
the South, and argued their indisuenslbility to
the development of that section and Mexico and
Central Amerlea as well. He repeated that
Grant will be strong at the South. Greeley's
name has no charm there. The man who has
the genius to command success on the field when
the popular heart was weak, Is the man for this
hour.
?OVIVATfOHS BirOBX THI PLATFORM.
Mr. Spencer, of New York, moved to suspend
the rnles, in order to proceed with the nomina
tion of President, only deferring the nomination
of Vice President until after the platform shall
be adopted. Lost.
An Ohio delegate called for a crippled soldier
of that state. General Noyes, advancing to the
platform, said that the reeling of the Ohio dele
gation was to talk less and to act more. He
thought they ought to Anlah their business and
go home. He was afraid that they would not be
able to go home to-night, If they waited
for the report of the committee on the plat
form; therefore he wished to proceed with
the nominations at once, and let the
platform oome in aTterward. He promised
for the nominees of this convention a larger ma
{ority than Ohio gave for Grant four years ago.
Cheers. ] There was absolutely no disaffection
n Ohio. [Cheers.] There had been a few
liberal republicans, as they ware called,
but they were bow ashamed of them
selves. and were stronger friends of Grant now
than they were before. He persisted in the
opinion that the convention should at once pro.
ceed to the nomination of candidate for Presi
dent. [Cries of "make the motion."] In con
clusion he moved to snspend the rnles, and pro
ceed to nominate a presidential candidate.
This was carried with great cheering.
OBAWT WITH A BlO O.
Mr. Shelby T. Cullom, of Illinois, chair mm
of the Illinois delegation, having advanced to
the platform, said: "On behalf of the treat re
publican party of Illinois, and of the Union; iu
the name of liberty, of loyalty, and Of justio
and of law; In the interest of economy, of go > I
government, and 01 peace, and of "the equ*'
right* of all, renerubtring with profound
glati' le hi* glonou? achievements on
the id and his noble statesmanship an chief
tuag strafe of this groit nation, I nominate for
tb* pr- si lent ror a second term Ulysses s.
Grant."
The nomination was hailed with most enthu
siastic demonstration. The delegate" r??e to
their feet in mass and cheered vociferously,
waiving their bate and harw'lierchiefs. In tHe
height ot the enthusiasm a op s.'?ne was low
ered at the back of the 'Age, with a picture
of General (irant on hor*. 6. X, and the band
s'ruck up "Hail to the Chi ji'." The scene was
wonderfully exhiliarati'g.
MB. WOODFORD O* ??ANT, PL'MNER, AND
PTASTOX.
Mr. S. L. Woodford, of Ntvr York, advanced
to the platform to second the nomination. He
?poke of Senator Sumner't a?i?er:<;ons on Gen.
Grant, referring particularly to Sumner't quo
tation of Secretary Stanton. in these words: "I
know General Grant bettei than any other per
son in the country can know him. It was mv
duty to study him. and I di 1 so night and day;
when I saw and when I <Ud not sec b.iu. and
liow I tell you what 1 kn< w. he cannot govern
this country." L<et the hit ory, he said, of those
perilous days reply that the great war sec
retary Indeed knew ('.rant thnvigh and
through; that until the hour when Grant
assumed personal command In Vlrgianla,Stan
ton had been compelled to discharge net only
bis ministerial duties as Secretary, but to watch
and guide the action of the commanders tn the
field; that from that hour b"! and Linooln alike
trusted, leased upon, counselled, and confided
upon General Grant, and left him free,
according to his own good government, to
fight the rebellion in his own resolute
and sure way. Let history record that
when our gallant Sherman seemffd in the
judgment of the War Secretary to have erred
in the terms proposed for Johnson's surrender;
that Stanton knew Grant so well that he sent
him, all untried in diplomacy and statesman
ship, to avenge the surrender and prevent i>os
sible legal complications mid political misun
derstandings. Let history also record that this
plain soldier, of whese autocratic, egotistic ami
imperial will this same Sen Uor made such fre
quent mention, was so little disposed to as
sert himself, was bo genero is to the feel
ings of his great lieutenant, that having
conferred with Sherman, and indicated
the purpose of the govert.m<nii, ami so pre
vented further possible mistake, he left
Sherman to complete the acgotiations in hi.
own name and by his own means. I challenge
the records of the war and the memories of his
old soldiers to find one single instance where
Grant ever sought to appropriate one single
laurel that his comrade had gained, or tailed to
recognize and reward a comrade's merit and
worth. But to return: Stanton, indeed, knew
Grant through and through. He knew that
when, for an hour, Andrew Johnson may have
meditated the use of force against the will
of the people in Congress assembled, he
did not dare to whi<pcr his dream to
Grant, but sought by the creation ot
merit ranks to find other." u ho might do his will.
To the honor of the man and true men who
stood that day in the highest rank, Johnson
offered commissions in vain. Aye, Stanton
knew .Grant well. He knew that when, bv
assignment to the War Department ad interim,
(irant filled for the time that high civil trust,
that the only barrier between the passion of the
President and the Imminent renewal of civil
striie was thjs patient, silent, loyal man, who
was as sound in peace as in war, and was
forever on the side ot constitutional law and
unity and peace. Aye, he knew him well; so
well that during that long struggle, when Stan
ton stood aud fought out that bitter fight be
tween Presidential u-urpation aud congres
sional authority, he leanedon Grant constantly
and completely, and this C:?war whose red hand
is to stop our liberty was true at every time and
in every place; as true to the people ami to the
law as is the needle to the point. Aye; Stanton
knew Grant well, so well tuat wheu he had been
placed in nomination fortLe Presidency,'Stan
ton pleaded for his election, endorsed his fitness
ami labored for his success. These very walls
still ring with the cjhoe of that great speech;
one of the last utterances of the great states
man in his own Pe: nsylvania, from the grave,
where he was killed from overwork in the Cabi*
net, as much a martyr to the war as though be
had wasted in a hospitid or died u(?oii the field.
His cold li|>s speak this day as in lite they spoke
fiom this very plat orm. From the grave the
dead Stanton"rebukes the 'iving Senator, and 1
hear his earnest at. 1 solemn approval ot Ulysses
S. Grant as a soldier, man and patriot."
Mr. Borouck, of California, said a tew words
when the roll wa- called for the first ballot.
CALLING THE STATUS.
As each state was called the chairman of its
delegation, in a few terse sentence*, announced
its unanimous vote for Grant, each auuuuuce
nietit being the signal for applause.
Nebraska, in announcing its vote, said Ne
braska ;;ave six for the man who will tan the
hide of Horace in the vat 01 democratic corrup
tion and damnation.
Mr.Townsend, casting the vote Of North Car
olina, gave it for Grant, the man whom Gree
ley said never had been best and never would
be. [l<ong and uproarious applause.] North
Carolina being tbc Tar state, intended to stick
to Grant.
On the call of Pennsylvania her chairman
was greeted with gteat applause and loud cries
ot ??Platform:" ''Platform'." Mr. McMichael
declined to come forward, but said: "Pennsyl
vania, without any words but her fall heart,
cast fifty-seven votes for Grant."
When Burnaide row to vote for Rhode Island
he was greeted with great cheers, continuing un
til he took the platform, where he cast eight
votes for liis old comrade inarms.
Mr. Mackey, of South Carolina, said tho del
egation of that rejuvenated state, whose first
gun at Sumter made Graut a |K>ssii>ilirv, in*
structed him to cast her vote for tuat soldi *r.
Mr. Popham, of Virginia, said her republi
can people were matching forward under the
banner, "Sic x'to/.t tyrannus,'" and intend uext
autumn to put their armed heel upon the head
of the democratic par?v. The gods are just,
and Virginia must and will be redeemed.

Mr. J. F. Cook, delegate from the District of
Columbia, said she bad a desirable house to

now occupies it.
ALL FOB GRANT !
All the states and territories having been
called, the chairman announced that the entire
seven hundred aud sixty-two votes having all
been cast for U. S. Grant, the latter was tiie
nominee of this convention as its candidate for
President.
The convention and galleries rose, cheering,
waving hats aud handkerchiefs. An original
song was sung "Kally round our lca<leie, men,"
cora|K>sed by W illiani S. Irwin, and sung bv a
baritone from the gallerv. It was received with
grtaf applause at the conclusion. Atter the
cheering had subsided, there were loud cries for
the music of John Brown until the band began
to play It, the whole convention rising an-i
singing it with the greatest enthusiasm. At
this time the excitement was inteuse, which
culminated when the band followed with the
stirring strains of Yankee Doodle.
The call for the battle cry of freedom wa<
responded to by the baud, the audionce again
joining in the chorus with a will.
Mr. Chase, of Indiana, was called to the
platform, and sung the '-Hed, white and blue,"
the band and audience joining in the chorus.
The enthusiasm would not be silenced until
Mr. Church followed with "Marching through
Georgia." At the conclusion he called for three
cheers for the loyal black men who stood by our
boys as they were marching to the sea. The
cheers were given with a will.

The Labor Movbmmt?The marble work

a majority of the laborers of the gas works quit
work, their demand for an increase of wages
not being complied with. In New York yester
day morning 250 men at Stelnway's Olc.
tory resumed work, but half of them quit before
noon, fearin/r the crowd of strikers which had
gathered in the neighborhood. Half of the em

struck. Singer & Co. say the strike gives them

years in part?suppressing the rebellion and
freeing four millien< of slave#?it had punished
no one for political offences, and be
lieve* that the country will trust no

economy, without giving office hol lers a life
tenure, and opposes land grants to monopolies.
On the tariff, it declares substantially for a ju
dicious t iritf, so that american labor may
be protected, and promises to care for
the widows and orphans; it favors the abolition
of the franking privileges and a reduction of

Mr. Morton McMichael, ot Pennsvh itiia,
took the platform and nominated Henry Wilson,

years ago she presented a war governor as a
candidate for Vice President. The nomination
was defeated, but she went on faithtullv,
and gave her rote for the ticket.
He proceeded with some remarks on the tariff
? question. He was understood to complain that
Pennsylvania had no representative in the Cab

ot "> ameyour candidate." In conclusion be
presented,the name of "a statesman- known to
the whole country?an honest, able man. who
always labors for the laboring man. 1 name
Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts."
Mr. Loring, cf Massachusetts, seconded the
nomination in a tew eloquent sentences, which
recited his services and eulogised his pub.ic
and private character.
Mr. IUv, of New Hampshire, also seconded
the nomination of Henry Wilson, because ho
was a good, true man, and also in favor of the
people in every emergency.
Mr. Kichard W. Thompson, of Indiana, was
next received with cheers. In behalf of the en
tire republican party of Indiana, and by unani
mous instruction of the convention, he nomi?
uated Schuyler Colfax. (Great cheering.] He
did this with satisfaction, because it wa?ajust
reward for devoted public services. He was not
unknown to fame. Four years ago the names
of Grant and Colf ax were associated together,
a hey were the battle cry which led to that great
triumph. They should not be separated until
we achieve another triumph, because the hrm
is not yet insolvent, and the time has not come
In which to divide assets. He paid a high com
pliment to Mr. Wilson, who, with Colfax, both
carved their way to honor and distinction; but
Grant and Colfax, united in one err, will airain
be the signal for victory.
Mr. Win. A. Howard, of Michigan, seconded
the nomination of Colfax. He said Michigan
first perfected a republican' party organization.
W e still stand where we stood. He then pro
ceeded with a graphic sketch of Colfax's career
from a printer s boy to the seat of the second
officer in this treat government, and urged the
propriety of his re nomination. In con Judin*.
he was cheered. *
Mr. Lynch, colored, of Mississippi, followed.
It seemed to him as if the spirit of Lincoln is
here, and he remembered what the patriot said
on one occasion, when he said it was not a safe
time to swap homes. [Applause.] He proceeded
to urge the nomination of Colfax. [Loud cries

Mr. Gerritt Smith rising, was greeted with

The chair recognised Mr. Parker, of N. J.,
who eulogised both Uolfax and Wilson. If the
republican party had occasion to regret the

SEN ATE.?Mr. Stewart called up Hou?e bill
to prevent and punish the obstruction of the

of a substitute was adopted, and the bill then
passed.
Mr. Sherman, from committee on finance, re

THE POIBT LOOROWT RAILROAD.
Mr. Sawyer called up House bill authorising
the Washington and Point Lookout rrilroadto
extend its road into and withiu the District ot
Columbia.
Mr. Harlan Intimated that the object of this
bill might |>erhai>s l?e to obstruct another road
which was to be built on the same line, and for
which a charter had alreadv been obtained.
Those who had l?een here in Washington as long
as he had knew that it was one of the practices
of this locality to obtain charter*, tor railroads
merely to prevent other parties from building
them. This was seen in the case of the Point
of Hocks railroad. A charter had been obtained
for this road IS years ago, and yet it ha I never
